My list of "absolute favourites" is:
1. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein -the most beautiful, stunning and heartbreaking book I own. The characters are perfectly crafted and the writing gives me shivers each time I read it.
2. Goliath by Scott Westerfeld - The worldbuilding is fantastic and there is such a great variety of characters who I love to bits. I have read the trilogy over a dozen times, and will take any opportunity to rave about them!
3. The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater - I don't ship characters but I totally ship Blue and Gansey. Words don't do justice how well Maggie Stiefvater writes.
if we wait until we're ready
we'll be waiting
for the rest of our lives

Ohhhhh that's so hard!!!! I love books!
I'll name a few of my favorites off the top of my head...

Lonesome Dove Series- Larry McMurtry
Dances With Wolves- Michael Blake
Jurassic Park- Michael Crichton
Timeline- Michael Crichton
Sherlock Holmes (all of 'em!)- Arthur Conan Doyle
Gone With the Wind- Margaret Mitchell

All these books I named are incredible! I couldn't possibly put them in order. And there's so many more I could put down...

Those books were incredible! I read them twice :o Christopher Paolini is such a great role model, too, because he wrote them when he was so young!

My favorite stories kind of follow the same format: Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger, The Graduate by Charles Webb, and Raw by Lua and Alice.

They definitely influence my modern, first-person, writing style. I love their dialogue and their desire to address issues that we don't openly talk about. And they have tragic protagonists that bring their tragedies upon themselves.

The best book I've ever read is Animal Farm (George Orwell). It's an odd book to call your favorite, but I absolutely love it.

Stargirl by FAR...

And then for dystopian series, I'll hand it to Uglies.

for classics, The Great Gatsby
I believe in that, which is not seen.
I call it truth, faith, hope, life.

I loved this book, can't wait for the second one, though I've heard it's not as good.

Hmm, my favourite books. Well series would have to be The Narnia Chronicles and Harry Potter.
But just books, I honestly don't know. But The Night Circus by Erin Morgernstern would have to be on the list, along with a million others.
Don't let the Nargles bite.
And don't let a dementor kiss you good night.


It's a charm actually. It keeps away the Nargles- Luna

I loved The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke, The Bartimaeus Cycle by Jonathon Stroud and anything by Dianna Wayne Jones :)

Best book is shades of grey by jasper fforde. Although unfortunately named, it is a very thoughtful dystopian future book.

I don't know really. I think maybe 'Partials' by Dan Wells or 'Ashfall' by Mike Mullin. Those are both really good books. I also love 'The Program' by Suzanne Young. Those three are good books. (First books, mind you.) I don't know, though. I can't say best for sure. I've read a lot of good books.

Ooh, and I also love Ender's Game! And the Mistmantle Chronicles.
And... Okay, sorry. *hushes*
...I seem to have sworn my undivided, undying loyalty to a dozen different books over the past decade, proclaiming each as the absolute best, the most amazing book ever, and my one true love for all of eternity. :/
